Glenburn scored the first basket of the game in the early going of the first quarter, but that was the highlight for the Chargers as Bangor went on a 11-1 run over the remainder of the quarter to open with an 11-3 lead.

Bangor would score in double digits all four quarters of the game, including the second quarter when the Rams shutout Glenburn 11-0 to take a 22-3 lead into the half time break.

Alex Tennett topped all scorers with 19 points to lead Bangor in scoring. Also contributing to the Ram win was Daxton Gifford with 10 points, Gavin Hughes with nine, Nate O'Donnell with seven, and Jacoby Harvey six points. 

Bangor had four 3-point baskets, two by Tennett and one each from Harvey and O'Donnbell. They would go 3-for-9 from the free throw line.

Griffin Dunton and Caleb Campbell each score six points to pace Glenburn, and Wiley Ward added five points. 

The Chargers had one 3-point basket by Ward, and they went 2-for-6 (all by Dunton) from the charity stripe.
